Pledge

We, members of the Singapore Civil Defence Force, pledge to discharge our duties courageously and responsibly when called upon to protect and save lives of our citizens. We take pride in our training. We are loyal to our nation.

SCDF Crest

The international Civil Defence triangle features prominently in the crest. The equilateral blue triangle symbolises the three main areas of Civil Defence — fire safety, first aid, and rescue and evacuation.

Our state shield is set on the triangle, which is garlanded by a laurel of leaves, signifying the formal status of the SCDF as a national organisation.

The green laurel, with a red ribbon, represents the honour of service in the Civil Defence. These are supported by a blue banner with the white inscriptions "Civil Defence Singapore". Blue, the colour of the SCDF, stands for loyalty and dedication to the nation and citizens.
